Our track record with old ex-international strikers is not a strong one. If he signed for Ayr I'd put the over/under on goals from open play at 3.5 for the season

The Bullen postgame interview isn't too bad. If you were optimistically minded you might feel they know what needs done and you might trust them to do it.

Dipo would have been suspended for this game anyway. Eight of the starting xi were at the club last season, seven of those in the first team. No reason to expect them to struggle against what turned out to be a limited part time opponent. But please do let us know when we can start taking the games seriously, thanks.

Other teams struggling isn't really a good excuse for Ayr struggling. Lots of teams didn't struggle too.

Is that first sentence in English?

Penalties were great, can we have them every week?

Ashford was the only player who looked like he could carry the team forward

Bit unlucky not to win at the end, but it would've been a theft.

Haha howler!!

Second half has been way worse than the first

Feels like the players are struggling to create good angles to receive the ball in attacking areas, means they keep getting forced wide or back without the defenders having to do much.

Looked like a decent shout for a penalty there

Bryden on at half time

The fact they swapped Amartey and McKenzie so early suggests whatever the plan was, it wasn't working. They've worked a few two on ones down the left especially, but the midfielders aren't gambling on crosses coming in. Set pieces look like our best shot to score.

Stirling seem to be targeting the wide areas with early balls. Ayr seem to have no discernible strategy at all. Frustrating when Smith is showing for a simple pass from the keeper and Albinson shells it long to the Stirling defenders instead.

He's certainly been available in attack

Paul Smith looks well ahead of the rest of our team, if we're looking for positives

McKenzie and Amartey have swapped positions, not sure it will help

Hahaha what a terrible goal to lose

Individual error count from our defenders already creeping up

Nice to hear the racist song at the start of another season

Does anyone know who I need to speak to here at Forthbank to get my "Am a real/better fan" badge?

A sad day.

I'm surprised at reports of explicit criticism of players. Less political than I'd expect.
